First Ward Park

A beautiful park a lot of space for children’s play but a lot of homeless. I don’t feel safe here. Not playgrounds for the kids.

The park and location are wonderful, but homeless people and pee smell around them during summer ruins it all. Loved the views, splash pad, and kids' workout and playground area.

What a pleasant surprise. This park is nestled right next to the light rail. It's open and inviting. I took my kids here to enjoy a morning out, and they could not get enough of this park. They bounced around on the musical merry go round and I used the workout equipment as well. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful hidden (in plain sight) jewel.

As a picnic planner I've hosted a few picnics here the views are beautiful but there is a big homeless problem at this specific park. Peking isn't the best either but it's really large and fun for kids and adults

We are not from Charlotte and we didn't go to the park for the park we went for the Lovin' life music festival. It was my oldest son's dream to see Post Malone we screamed, laughed, and cried to his songs and I would never trade it for anything I will forever have a place in my heart for this location now. My 2 youngest LOVE David Kushner my 4 year old and 3 year old say daylight is their favorite song. Myself and my 2nd oldest absolutely adore Jessie Murph. We drove 5 hrs and stayed at a nearby hotel which we made about a 10 min walk to the park. The grass was nice off to the side to sit and relax. We got Super VIP for the festival so we didn't need to worry about food or drinks but it was a great experience and if they have great artists again next year it will become a tradition for sure!

One of my fav greenspaces in Charlotte.. and as a Volunteer for the Charlotte Shouts festival there is even more to do until the 14th of april 2024...seesaws live music and tons for the children to do..

First thing, beautiful park & love what they have done there. It is definitely a good place to have your family and friends to enjoy some time together.

It is truly a nice park but time for some honesty.

One…TOO MANY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS around….not to be mean but in order to keep that place in a beautiful and SAFE environment…this has to happen…remove them. You have too many families with children out there for this to be happening.

Two….the park itself need some sort of park security on bikes and even walking around…it would do the park some good.

Three…clean up that fountain in the back….the water is dirty and clearly if there are homeless people, they have been bathing in that.

The park has true potential, like date nights with live music for the city ….must do better.
